AIM
To share and disseminate the latest developments in the use and applications of higher structures in the different areas of mathematics and physics.  On this occasion we will pay attention to the interplay between topological and geometrical invariants with the classification of crystals in condensed matter physics. 

This is the second workshop on Higher Structures in Algebra, Geometry, Topology and Physics to take place in Barranquilla. The first workshop took place in 2019 (see here).

This event is a joint effort of:

Institute of Mathematical Sciences of the Americas IMSA and the IMSAC Consortium

Research groups "Grupo de Investigación Interinstitucional en Geometría y Topología"  and "Grupo de investigación en física aplicada"

Institute partnership between Universidad del Norte, Universidad Nacional de Colombia campus Medellín and Greifswald University, supported by the Alexander Von Humboldt Foundation.
